Donate to Support Aris’ Battle Against Cancer, organized by Joel Curtis

Product Description

Our beloved son, Aris, is facing the fight of his life. He was recently diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer, and despite his strength, courage, and positive spirit, the journey ahead is overwhelming. After meeting with his oncology team, we learned that surgery is not an option at this time due to extensive liver metastasis. His doctors are preparing to begin treatment with somatostatin analogs (SSAs), and possibly other therapies such as Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) and possibly traditional chemotherapy and radiation. These treatments offer hope, but they also bring significant financial and emotional challenges. Aris has always had a deep passion for farming and producing healthy food. After getting his degree in sustainable agriculture at UC Davis, Aris has dedicated his life to working the land with care and purpose. Today he is the Kitchen Garden Manager at Enso Village in Healdsburg, CA, where he grows nourishing crops for the community and inspires others with his knowledge and dedication. Aris is kind, hardworking, and devoted to making the world better through sustainable farming. He deserves every chance to keep doing what he loves and to continue sharing his gifts with the community. We are reaching out for support as medical costs, travel expenses to UCSF for specialized care, and time away from work will add up quickly. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward Aris’s treatments, medications, and support needs. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing his story. Your love, prayers, and encouragement mean the world to us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with Aris as he faces this battle with strength, hope, and love surrounding him. With gratitude, Joel and Sarah Curtis
